poultry department will be special feature
of the newly-organized plantation of Mr.. C.
Menelas, at Brookhaven, Miss. 1t will be
under the control and management of an
experienced and efficient person familiar
with all its details and needs. The chickens
are to be handled in colonies of twelve hens
and one rooster to yard Each colony is
provided with a suitable house. is separate
and distinct from all other colonies, and
while the tenor fifteen colonies mingle freely
with each other during the day, at dark each
colony retires to its own home for the night.
The young chicks, as they are Matched, will
be taken from their mothers and cared for
by hen who will mother from seventy-five
TO one hundred, while the real mother will
soon begin to lay again. By this method it
is hoped to keep most of the hens laying or
sitting nearly the whole year through.

the land being in crops, the ether half in
weeds, and l have never known crop to
fail on that farm; neither has there been
any commercial fertilizer bought. There is
no soil here in Georgia humus will not bene-
tit. Anything, old decayed logs, leaf mold,
muck, pond scrapings, weeds plowed under,
are all good, but better still are cowpea
vines. If the farmers will rotate SO rs to
nave their land in cowpeaS every third year
and turn under the crop green when in full
blossom, in few years their acquaintance
with mortgages will be less intimate and
they can sell cotton for cash 1t is easily.
done. Say we start with the Branch field
THIS year IN cotton, next year in corn, that
fall in oats. The oats are off in May or
June, then sow two bushels of peas to the
acre immediately, pillow them under in the
fall and by March your land is in good fix
to plant cotton again. While this rotation
is being conducted in the Branch" field the
other fields are to be treated the same way,
starting the system with any crop you please
Understand do not mean it must be cotton,
corn and oats, but any three crops the farm
er is planting; neither do / mean that this
is all the manuring he needs. Manure all
you can, save all your pen and stable manure
to go in the drill each year for each and
every crop; gather all the trash and muck
you can from woods and ponds, compost
this with kainit, then mix in your stable
manure with it, use this every year, but be
sure once in three years to get that crop of
pea vines in your soil. 1t will free the nj
trogen, allow it to work and place your soil
where it was when first cleared up.
The economy Of the plan will commend it
to every thinking farmer. He broadcasts
his land in manure which he knows is good
for about $3-the cost of blowing, two bush
els of peas and turning under the vines.
Can he buy any fertilizer for So which will
broadcast an acre?
Mr.. Terry, on the clay lands of Ohio, has
proved this theory to be true. Mr.. Sharp,
on the sand lands of Maryland, has done the
| same; and Sir John of Rothamsted, from
deductions from the experiments of 1886,
gives Mr.. Sharp credit for the sense of the
theory that seeking to purchase nitrogen is
a poor way to get it, and acknowledges the
value of humus.
If the average farmer is doubtful let him
take one acre, plant it next month in peas
and oats in the fall, and continue this for
three years, then plant any crop he wants
to on that acre, without any manure what
ever, and he will see what humus has done
for him.
By this use of peas, oats-one of the most
exhaustive cropS-can be grown year after
year, with an improvement in Weld each
crop on the same land. Much better, then,
must it be to rotate.

Pear Trees and Blight.

While there appears to be no remedy as
yet discovered, says the New York Star,
which can be relied on as cure for the
blight in pear trees, there are many theories
advanced by horticulturists in regard to it,
Downing attributes the disease to minute
fungus which first attacks the bark and,
penetrating inwardly, destroys the cell
structures, thereby causing the death of the
tree He says that these fungoid spores
entertained OF saving the life of the tree,
and which can best be done by washing the
affected parts with anything that will ac-
complish the obiect--not merely applying
the same specifically, but thoroughly work
ing it into the pores by means of paint
brush, pure lnseed oil being about the best
for the purpose.
Another authority attributes the disease
to atmospheric causes, combined, probably,
with the state of the soil, and prescribes as
a remedy the application of salt to the roots.
Another, that it is caused by a superabun-
dance of nitrogen in the soil, the only way
of preventing the activity of which is to
increase the mineral elements in proportion
the application of wood ashes being proba-
bly, as good as anything else.
Others, again, attribute the disease to a
small insect which, penetrating to the cam
blum, causes the tree to wither and die, and
advises washing the body and larger branch-
es of the tree with strong soapsuds contain
ing a little carbolic acid
In fact, our best authorities differ very
much in their modes Of treatment. The
theory that comes nearest our own ideas on
the subject is, that the disease is caused by
a lack of some mineral constituent in the
soil which, from the continual drafts made
upon it by the tree has become exhausted,
and which can be best supplied by top
dressings of lime, ashes and a little salt, to-
gether with some good rich compost; or, in
fact, anything that will furnish food for the
tree-not forgetting the free use of the cul-
tivator in incorporating the same well with
the surface soil.
